Let me conclude, then, by just expressing our sincere thanks to our colleagues on the Republican side and to all of the members of the staff for their work on this bill. We think it is a good bill. It is a bipartisan effort to increase transparency and information to Congress and to promote the expansion and preservation of minority financial institutions, all of which we think is good. I encourage my colleagues to support the bill.

I thank the gentleman for yielding time. Mr. Chairman, I want to rise not so much in opposition to the manager's amendment, but in opposition to the bill and so that we can try to make sure that people understand what it is that they are…
I believe that we must listen to the claims of women who come forth with allegations of harassment, abuse, or misconduct.
I am wondering, if you think this is redundant and extraneous rather than contrary to the intent, why wouldn't we just accept the amendment and keep going?
I would certainly emphasize that if anybody here has the notion that I believe that I am above the law, they should dissuade themselves of that notion.
